UNSPSC 50122014: Wild caught chum salmon

In this classification this entry represents the species of fish known as Chum Salmon, that was raised in the wild and harvested as an adult, and is presumed to have grown as an organic and Non GMO species.

UNSPSC 50122014 Wild caught chum salmon, a Commodity code, encompasses fish products and seafood supplied to state and local institutions—though the recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of food products than the nominal scope suggests. State and local governments procure fish and seafood through this code primarily as components of institutional food service: fish sticks for correctional facilities, whole proteins for school nutrition programs, and salmon or similar species as line items within comprehensive grocery bids for school districts and other public agencies. The issuing bodies span state departments (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County, Richmond County), and municipal development authorities (Invest Atlanta). School districts are the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs and RFQs annually for school nutrition suppliers serving breakfast and lunch programs under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program regulations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where six of the seven identified opportunities originated between April and October 2026. Representative solicitations include Georgia Department of Administrative Services' RFQ 92100ERFQ0020702027 for fish sticks to supply Georgia Correctional Industries (bids due October 12, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for grocery and food service supplies across multiple categories including seafood proteins (bids due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's food and non-food products bid (bids due June 8, 2026), and Richmond County Board of Education RFQ #26-204 for grocery products covering frozen fish and protein items for school years 2026–2028 (bids due May 27, 2026). Atlanta-based Invest Atlanta issued a dual-track RFP in July 2026 for food distribution services and municipal market retail operations (proposals due August 6, 2026) that includes sourcing and inventory requirements applicable to seafood products. All school-district solicitations enforce Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, E-Verify verification, and insurance minimums of $500,000 general liability; delivery is required at fixed locations with no separate fuel surcharges permitted. Prices typically remain firm for 60 to 90 days from award, and contracts run July 1 through June 30 of the following year with optional renewals.
